Bait run

guessing you are talking about the Mandurah estuary and adjacent water ways, the trouble with the mullet is that they are moving around quite a lot and not favouring 1 particular area in my experience of late.

Brilliant. There was a whole heap of them where we where whiting fishing/crabbing on Sat and we were discussing buying a net. Fresh mullet are awesome crab bait and have outdone tuna heads for me before.
